Resistance Leadership stages protest in Srinagar against Human Rights Violation

Leaders and activists of Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) on Tuesday held a protest at Jamia Masjid in Downtown Srinagar against human rights abuses and arrests of pro-freedom leadership.

Scores of protesters assembled at the historic mosque in Nowhatta and held a rally.

The protesters denounced the “unabated” human rights violations, arrests of resistance leaders by the NIA and ED, turning Downtown into a military garrison, caging resistance leaders and unleashing the “reign of terror” everywhere in Kashmir in the name of cordon-and-search-operations.

JRL is an amalgam of pro-freedom leaders comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik.

In December, the JRL had written to International Red Cross committee, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and United Nation Human Rights Commission seeking their intervention into the matter of specially-abled Tanveer Ahmad War S/O Muhammad Shaban War R/O Old Town Baramulla who was jailed and is serving his second consecutive public safety act in Kot-Balwal jail Jammu.
